Richard I find it hard to resist a ramble more so these days, as to whether that might be beneficial to anyone at all other than myself... is anyone`s guess.

Griffo,thanks for the heads up on not using grease, fortunately I have not ever required to use that suggestion myself during oil changes...

Dave it seems we may share a similar fondness for MGB`s in simpler times...I still like them today but back when I was looking for a more engaging driving experience at UK road legal speeds my first thought was a vintage sports car, and by good fortune ended up the custodian of a Morgan in 2002, which still resides in my garage and has been self maintained.

As for the low down on oil best suited for old tec engines, I am sure I read advice from real expertise and understanding contained and discussed in great detail on the FBHVC web site some years back, I guess with a bit of rooting around it may still be accessible therein..?
